About the blogger(s):

Jim Clark joined the Herald's sports copy desk in 1998 and has been the author of "In The Slot" since 2000. A past winner of the Joel Perlmutter Award from the Mass. State Hockey Coaches Association, he has been covering the high school hockey scene throughout Massachusetts for more than two decades. Clark is a graduate of Oakmont Regional (Ashburnham) and UMass, and it's probably not a coincidence that both schools waited until three years after his departure to start up their hockey programs.
